Shots Fired: A Machinist Guide

[Elizabeth]

Hey @Odowla

i was watching your Wildfire vid again and trying to do the same rotation, but can't do more than a 6k dmg WF. The point here is, on your video, my rotation ends when your WF is still at 6s, following the same rotation as yours. You're casting 4 more skills than me. I'm playing with 150 latency, maybe that's the problem here

Does anyone here play mch on ps3? I have it at i182 but can't even top 1k dps on three minute parses against a dummy and I'm starting to think it's partially because of input lag and latency. I think I'm okay at doing the rotation, and looking at the parses haxetc and aiurily have put up from when they were about that ilevel I don't feel like food and pots alone should make up a 100+ dps difference. I'm sort of wondering if I should wait until I'm playing on PC before trying to do more with the class.

Uhhhm that's a lot of latency but i don't know if you lose 4 skills that quickly. I have a friend that plays from Korea that ends up 1 GCD behind me after 3 minutes. Maybe you're GCD clipping a lot more than you need to? Button Spamming to make everything over off here is pretty high so if you're not just spamming everything it just might not go off in time, etc. Otherwise I'm not sure, I know latency makes getting all the ogcds hard for sure, so it might make you clip a lot.

with a raid composition without drg, i was wondering how much in total does Litany + Disem. add to initial burst? 10% - 20%?

[Icebrand]

10% raw (disembowel), + 15% crit (battle litany) which is variable.

Hi machinists, I need an information. How much average DPS is supposed to do a Machinist in Alexander 1 with a ILVL200 weapon and full prototype gordian, minus body? Thank you for your help.

This might have been asked but I can't find it, is there a reason to use spread shot at level 60? My machinist is 53 and I'm already just using grenado for AoE.

If enemies are taking longer than 40-45 seconds, Spread Shot is better than Grenado. It's just rate of TP per point of damage. If You are using CDs, like Hawk Eye, Blood for Blood or Raging Strikes, Grenado is better than Spread Shot.

That's where I am gear-wise. On Faust, I do around 1150-1200 if I'm lucky with procs. Oppressors will vary due to mechanics, how fast everyone can kill the adds, where the light beams spawn, etc. I think my last A1 run I did a little over 900. I'm also not the best player in the world like some of the others in here, but I feel I do decent enough.

Reloading enhances the potency of Spread and Grenado shot in AoE only situations
